Hineni Yoga Practice for Cheshvan

To continue deepening our practice, I’m delighted to share this month’s Hineni with Ami: Yoga and Jewish Spirituality. As we exhale from the fullness of Tishrei, Cheshvan invites us into integration — the quiet work of absorbing what was planted in the holidays and letting it flow into our daily rhythm.

Cheshvan is the month of water — gentle, steady, soaking in. With no holidays, it offers us a sacred pause, a chance to slow down, return to the body, and find holiness in the everyday. Through breath, movement, and the subtle sense of smell — the most spiritual of the senses — we ground the seeds of renewal into lived experience. We lean into rest, welcome Shabbat as our weekly wellspring, and discover the sacred in the seemingly mundane.

Ami weaves these themes into a soothing, embodied practice — accessible to all levels.

Come as you are — Ami’s practice this month holds space for pause, integration, and quiet nourishment.

Integrating Teachings

As always, the teachings echo the themes of Rabbi Daniel’s teachings on each month. These teachings help us embody, integrate, and ground deeper into the profound wisdom of the cycles of Jewish time. They remind us that spirituality is not just an abstract concept but a lived experience.

In this way, we can embrace the essence of Jewish mysticism. We learn to integrate these ancient teachings into our daily lives. This integration fosters a deeper, more embodied spiritual practice.
